Get Vaccinated For Your Trip Abroad
Travel clinics are focused on preventative care and disease treatment for patients traveling abroad. Whether you’re will be taking a short vacation, backpacking in Europe, visiting Thailand or studying abroad, it is strongly recommended that you visit a travel clinic and receive updated vaccinations. Some countries even require you to be vaccinated for certain diseases before you enter the country.
When you are going to travel abroad, you should have a medical professional review your vaccination history and provide insight on other ways to protect your health while outside of the United States. In the US, we vaccinate for diseases common in our country. However, other countries have other diseases that are not common in the US, so we are not usually vaccinated for them.

Our travel health programs are cost-effective and convenient, providing one-stop destinations for your international travel medicine clinic needs. Don’t let a preventable illness disrupt your vacation or delay planned activities. No appointments are necessary at American Family Care!
